TUMTUM Children’s Dining Set // Review and Giveaway

Toby’s 18 months old now and is doing pretty well at feeding himself, but food often ends up being scooped off of his plate rather than into his mouth so when TUMTUM offered me the chance to review some of their easy scoop range, I was keen to give them a try.

TUMTUM have some wonderful products for all ages and feeding needs, from dining sets to lunch boxes, flasks to baking sets and all of them are so vibrant and colourful, which will really appeal to children.

The edge and corner on the plate make it much easier for little ones to load their fork and spoon with food instead of inadvertently pushing it off on to the table or floor. The cutlery is a nice size for little hands and Toby has done really well with getting food on to his fork and spoon then into his mouth, as you can see below!

I like having the giant mat beneath Toby’s plate to protect the table because it’s a play table too and I don’t want it being stained. The cup is fantastic, Toby loves having his drinks through a straw but the only drawbacks for me are that the lid is quite hard to take off to wash and it’s also perfect for Toby to shake about and spill his drink everywhere! The second part to that obviously isn’t a design issue but I do find the lid tricky, especially if I forget to take it off before I start the dishes and therefore have wet, soapy hands.

Overall I think this is a lovely collection and whilst there are cheaper options available, the touches such as the gorgeous colour and design, the clever scooping corner and perfect sizing for toddlers make this a really good option.

Try to eat as a family when you can – let them try what you are eating. When they see their family enjoying their food, they will hopefully copy and enjoy theirs too. Family meal times should be sociable!

Be prepared to be patient and that your child might refuse eating what you want them to eat but stay calm und don’t panic starting to feed them sweets and junk as they might prefer eating it. They will get to accept a healthy diet sooner or later.

dont worry if they go through a phase of not wanting to eat anything other than cheese, biscuits and chips, i really stressed out when this happened, but a month later he was back to eating everything and anything. its all just a phase

Get them involved in the process. When your at the supermarket let them help you pick a few items, then when you prep the meal let them help – even if its just a quick stir of whatever your making. Encourage them to smell and taste a bit of new foods but never force them. Eat together as a family – if they see everyone else eating and enjoying they will too! And embrace mess! learning to use cutlery and to eat new foods is hard work. Encourage them to try a spoon but dont be too alarmed if they drop/spill the food they will get it eventually
